Imam at-Termizi Memorial Complex
Imom at-Termiziy majmuasi
The mausoleum of the hadith scholar Imam Abu Isa at-Termizi, expanded in recent years into a large pilgrimage complex about 50 km northwest of Termez.
Abu Isa Muhammad at-Termizi (824–892) compiled the Jami' at-Tirmidhi, one of the six canonical hadith collections in Islam. His mausoleum lies in Sherabad District, near the village of Sherkot. After major renovations and expansions in the 2010s, it now forms a pilgrimage complex with a mosque, arcaded courtyards and gardens. It is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in southern Uzbekistan and draws many Central Asian and South Asian Muslim visitors. Modest dress is required, and women should cover their heads. It is about an hour by hired car from Termez. It can be combined with the Jarkurgan Minaret, though the directions differ, so the route requires a detour.
